DR.. McGlynn in Chicago.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 27.-Dr. Nc
Glynn yesterday addressed the Land and
Labor Club of this city in a conventional
sort of way for about two hours. He re-
ferred to the recent campaign of Henry
George in New York, which, he said, was
generally regarded as nominal defeat, but
which ought to be considered moral
victory. When 5000 votes could be polled
in metropolis like New York for candi-
date who represented an idea 1t must be
admitted that the people were alive to their
interests and that Henry Georgeism meant
something more than an empty name.
The campaign in New York, DR.. Nc
Glynn said, had been carried on without
organization and against two old political
parties; as well organized as ar
mics in the field. Two weeks
after the election, however, the party
had been placed in a thoroughly organized
condition and to-day the Land and Labor
party was as well prepared for battle as
were the old political parties. He said the
design was to nominate full state, county
and municipal ticket next time, and with a
fighting chance of electing their men in
Brooklyn and New York.
There would be over 1O0,000 votes polled
for the Land and Labor party at the next
election and If their candidates were not
elected they would give the politicians a
pretty strong fight. The new progressive
party would not stop here, but in 1888 it
would have candidate for President who
would develop an amount of strength that
would surprise the country. He would not
say who that candidate would be, but he
would be man who Is thoroughly in earn.

A young man in Delta county was

all right, but that the word spark made him

Gold1n wyoming.
Special to Denver Republican.


CHEYENNE, WYo., June 26.-Discov-
cries of rich gold mines have been made on
one of the Swan Brothers ranches at Horse
reek in the Silver Crown Mining Districtor
rather on which was thought grazing lands
and below the mineral-bearing belt The
ore Is hemetic quartzite and sand rock
intiltrated with lime. Average assays
showed values of SG3.Ol per ton, while Sc
lected specimens with the more darker
iron oxides went as high as S144G 60 to the
ton.
The specimens were brought in some
weeks since by Mr.. Rossie of Cheyenne
as samples of iron ore. A few days since
Mr.. Birmingham examined it closely and
discovered what he believed to be indca-
tions OF gold, and through testings and as
says proved it to carry rich in gold with
only trace in silver.
Another rich find was made in Jawbone
Gulch, Silver Boom District, last week by
Mr.. w. NJ. Stone, mining engineer The
Golden Band, owned by himself and Mr..
John Eames, assayed $274 81 per ton. 1t is
an oxide quartzite with the gold as fine as
pin-points. Another mine was located by
MIR. Stone near the same place, and named
the Golden Wonder, which runs by assay
$l65.36 ger ton. Both of these ores carry
only traces of silver. Mr.. Stone at first
thought little of his new locations and was
surprised at the results of the assays, which
he made himself at the Cheyenne Testing
Works, retesting the ores to be certain of
values. The strange part OF 1t is the names
given the mines before their value was

The Trade Outlook,

New YORK, July 1.-R. G. Dunn &
Co., in their weekly review of trade say:
Official returns for five months from thir-
ty-five cities of all sizes in various parts of
the country now show that the value of
new buildings in that time was 4.12 per
cent of the assessed valuation of all of the
real estate there in 1850, and the transfers
of property were Is per cent. at all points,
against IA per cent. at New York.
These figures would point to an expendi-
ture in building of 1900, 100000 If the
same activity should last through the year
and the transfers of $4,000, 0OO, 900 it need
not be added that reaction and diminished
activity in this direction are to be expected
The available has been turned into fixed
capital.
In railroad building the returns disap-
point those who expected that larger
mileage would be completed this year than
in 1882. So far the mileage is 500 above
that of last year to date, but about 300 miles
below the completed work to date in 1880,
1881 or 1883, and $500 below the record of
1882. The May and June returns exceed
last year but little, but the new securities
listed at the Stock Exchange this year al
ready exceed 1882, 900. 0O5 in stock and $780,
100000 in bonds, which in part accounts for
the hesitation in prices.
The general reports are almost without
exception satisfactory, trade being good for
the time of year. Collections are fair or
better and money is in reasonable supply
at all of the interior points. The disasters
at Chicago and Cincinnati seem to have
had little effect elsewhere.
IA most encouraging feature Is the settle
ment of wages in iron manufactures Oh a
10 per cent. advance and the closing of the
builders strike at Chicago, the shoemakers'
strike in Massachusetts, and the ore-hand-
lers' strike at Cleveland. The coke strike
still keeps some furnaces idle, and stocks
of iron west of the mountains are thought
to have fallen from 1914 ,O7s tons on May to
10000 tons. An advance in August is
hoped for. and old rails have risen during
the past week. The coal output for the
half year will exceed by 500 tons the larg
est previous output, and an advance in
prices is again predicted.
In most of the other branches of trade the
condition Is reported satisfactory for the
season. Monetary anxieties continue, how
ever. The bank surplus has never been as
low at this time of any previous year. and
the Treasury has taken 1900 900 in gold
while putting out 81, 100000 in currency.
The heaviest withdrawal of bank bonds
ever reported on single day naturally at
tends the maturity Of the last call for 3-per
cents, and the Treasury officials are disap-
pointed because the new deposits for circu-
lation reach only 81, 900, 900. The one open
supply of money is the London market, but
recent event have caused some sales of
stocks on foreign account and the merchan-
disc exports from New York fall 8 per cent.
below, while the imports rise 8 per cent.
above those of last year for June.

DR.. Parker, of the City Temple,
London, in the course of his sermon last
Sunday evening, said he was astonished at
the interest shown by Americans in the
Queen. One American had offered G5 900
for ticket of admission to Westminster
Abbey on the occasion of the jubilee SER
vices. The Americans, he said, had no
state COACH but they had education, liberty,
independence, respect, progress and en-
ergy. Mr.. Cleveland, Americas king, had
written him a friendly letter, showing that
he did not feel that there was wide diff
ference between a President and preach

The Commissioner of the General
Land Office has issued to Registers and Re-

desert land law. According to it lands Dor
dering upon streams, lakes or other natural
bodies of water or through or upon which
there is any river, stream, arroyo, lake,
pond, body of water or living spring are
not subject to entry under the desert land
law until the clearest proof of their desert
character is furnished. Lands con tanning
sufficient moisture to produce a natural
growth of trees are not to be classed as de-
sert lands. Surveys of desert land claims
cannot be made in advance of the regular
progress of the public surveys.

Utah's Ambition.

SALT LAKE, Utah, July 30.-The
Utah Constitutional Convention, composed
of seventy-fve delegates elected at the
county mass conventions, met in the legis-
lative chambers of the city hall at noon to-
day.
Judge Warren N. Dusenbury, of Provo,
was elected temporary president. On the
permanent organization being effected
Hon. John J. Game, delegate to Congress,
was chosen president of the convention.
He made a brief but forcible speech, out
lining the work to be done. He said the
convention was authorized by the people,
who are the source of all political power.
They have the constitutional right to assem-
BILE and petition for statehood, which will be
the beginning for Utah's rapid march to In
dustrial and political greatness. The con-
stitution must be broad and liberal, not
sectional, and thus secure the rights of the
minOrities previous to admission. The OBJ
stacles to the admission of Utah must be
faced frankly with view to meeting the
charge that Utah is not in harmony with
tire rest Of the Nation. He expressed the
conviction that Utah would yet shine with
the brightest stars OH the flag as free and
loyal State.
The organization was perfected with
full set of officers and the convention adj
journed till Friday pending the appoint
ment of committees.
The interest In the movement Is general
and intense. Everybody feels that great
Importance attaches to this new effort for
statehood. Earnest endeavors have been
made by conservative Mormons to gain the
cooperation of all classes and parties in the
proceedings.
THE OTHER SIDE.
SALT LAKE. June 30.-The Mormon dis
patches which were sent from here on Sat
urday's convention are untrue and intended
to mislead the country. Nobody but Nor
mons are taking part in the move and all of
the Gentiles are opposed to the convention.
1t met to-day and was managed by the
church officials. Apostle Franklin L. Rich
ards, polygamist, opened the convention
with prayer, praying for those who are
suffering martyrdom for conscience by con-
finement In prisons. There was q great
wrangle about the oath, many opposing the
taking Of any statutory oath, some denounc-
ing the Edmunds-Tu oath as bitter
pill, but others said Their was no use Of
meeting unless they showed to the country
that they could take the oath. The domi-
nant sentiment seemed to be that every
thing was necessary to deceive the coun-
try.

9OOx475 feet. This. with the exception of
the curing room, which was saved with its
contents Of 1e, 000. 900 pounds Of short-ribs,
in damaged condition, Is total loss. On
the east side of the main building was a
warehouse four stories and basement,
and containing 1900 barrels Of mess pork
belonging to Armour. The building and
most of the pork was destroyed. Between
900 and 700 hogs were cremated. Back of
the main building was an engine house 5Ox

destroyed.
After the flames had consumed most of
the woodwork Of the building the fire still
held sway in the great mounds Of burning
meat. Suffocating fumes from this, and
the hot dust from the falling walls of brick
made the task of the firemen terrible one,
and many of them were we'll nigh oyer
come. The most exciting scene of the day
was presented when the men were attempt
ing to drive out the live hogs in the upper
stories. Below were scores Of workmen
rolling out barrels of pork. Down on the
crowd, pell nell, leaped dozens of hogs
maddened by the burns, jumping from
windows and through hatchways. The
workmen below were compelled to flee for
their lives. In the afternoon when num-
Der of tiremen were trying to save short
ribs in the curing room a division wall fell
injuring Thomas Murphy SO severely that
he died few hours later. Five other fire.
men received severe wounds. Armour val
ues his pork at $500, 900, but thinks the sal
wage and insurance will make him even.
